I am looking for testers for my newest fall knit design “Indigo Mosaic Vest”. The test will be run through the group “The testing Pool”. I will need probably 1-2 testers for each size. You can leave a message here or PM me through Rav.
The pattern will be published on September 20, 2024.
Construction: The vest is worked in panels sideways: from the side to the center of the body. Each panel starts with the I-cord CO and finishes with the I-cord BO. The mosaic stitch patterns are separated from the garter stitch with welts. The first garter st rows have increases at the beginning and end of the rows, at the middle of the panel for the shoulder slope, and one more in Front to give the fullness of the body. The vest has big pockets in front. The back insert is made to accommodate the back neckline.
